Subject: Rabbi's Message: Oct. 2007 - Cheshvan 5768: My New Book and a Book Signing

One of the biggest problems that small temples have is finding people willing
to put in all of the work necessary to plan a program, do the publicity and
just "make it happen." On the other hand, my writing leads me to look for
opportunities to tell about the things I discover as I write. As such, my
new book provides me with a unique opportunity to provide a program for the
temple, publicize it and cater it: All you have to do is show up!!!

On Saturday, 7:00PM to 8:30PM, November 4, 2007, I will be doing a book
signing at Betenu. The evening will start with Havdallah, the
ceremony that is a transition from Shabbat back to weekdays. It will be
followed by a Power Point presentation on my new book and then I will take
any questions that you may have on the book (and usually, anything else.)

As most of you know, I have a great deal of interest in Jewish Cemeteries.
My first book,
"A Field Guide to Visiting a Jewish Cemetery" has been endorsed by
genealogists, Jewish educators and those with general interest in cemeteries
and is now in its 3rd printing.
